O, was investigated in air by means of TG-DTG/DTA, DSC, TG-IR and SEM. TG-DTG/DTA curves showed that the decomposition proceeded through three well-defined steps with DTA peaks closely corresponding to mass loss obtained. Kinetics analysis of its dehydration step was performed under non-isothermal conditions. The dehydration activation energy was calculated through Friedman and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) methods, and the best-fit dehydration kinetic model function was estimated through the multiple linear regression method. The activation energy for the dehydration step of [C 5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
